Welder Protection System

In the event of an overload, this welder/generator is equipped

with an welder protection system . If an overload is detected

while operating the welder/generator, the welder protection

system will shut down the engine.

Oil Pressure Warning Alarm

In the event of low oil pressure (engine), this welder/generator

is equipped with an engine protection fail safe system . If

low oil pressure is detected while operating the welder/

generator, the engine protection system will shut down the

engine.

If this condition (low oil pressure) should occur, please refer

to the engine troubleshooting table in this manual.

Excitation System

The SGW-250SS welder/generator uses a brushless

exciter to create rated output electricity. This system will

use the mechanical energy generated by the 3600 RPM

engine to spin the rotor (or armature) inside the generator

(or alternator end).

The motion created by the rotor (which holds copper coils)

spins inside a housing of permanent magnets called the

"STATOR". A magnetic field is created by the stator and

produces an electrical current.

Engine

The SGW-250SS is powered by an air-cooled, 4-cycle

HONDA gasoline engine. This engine is designed to meet

every performance requirement for generator. Reference

Table 1, page 9 for engine specifications.

In keeping with MQ Power's policy of constantly improving

its products, the specifications quoted herein are subject to

change without prior notice.

Figures 2 and 3 (pages 14-15) show the basic controls and

indicators for the SGW-250SS welder/generator.

1. Fuel Cell - Provides an adequate amount of fuel for

the equipment in use. Fuel cells must be empty when

transporting equipment.

2. Braking System - System employed in stopping the

trailer. Typical braking systems are electric, surge, hy-

draulic, hydraulic-surge and air.

3. GVWR- Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR), is the

maximum number of pounds the trailer can carry, in-

cluding the fuel cell (empty).

SGW-250SS — TRAILER-SAFETY GUIDELINES

4. Frame Length - This measurement is from the ball

hitch to the rear bumper (reflector).

5. Frame Width - This measurement is from fender to

fender.

6. Jack Stand - Trailer support device with maximum

pound requirement from the tongue of the trailer.

7. Coupler - Type of hitch used on the trailer for towing.

8. Tire Size - Indicates the diameter of the tire in inches

(10,12,14, etc.), and the width in millimeters

(175,185,205, etc.). The tire diameter must match the

diameter of the tire rim.

9. Tire Ply - The tire ply (layers) number is rated in letters;

2-ply,4-ply,6-ply, etc.

10. Wheel Hub - The wheel hub is connected to the trailer’s

axle.

11. Tire Rim - Tires mounted on a tire rim. The tire rim must

match the size of the tire.

12. Lug Nuts - Used to secure the wheel to the wheel hub.

Always use a torque wrench to tighten down the lug

nuts. See Table 4 and Figure 5 or lug nut tightening and

sequence.

13. Axle - Indicates the maximum weight the axle can sup-

port in pounds, and the diameter of the axle expressed

in inches (see Table 3). Please not that some trailers

have a double axle. This will be shown as 2-6000 lbs.,

meaning two axles with a total weight capacity of 6000

pounds.

14. Suspension - Protects the trailer chassis from shocks

transmitted through the wheels. Types of suspension

used are leaf, Q-flex, and air ride.

15. Electrical - Electrical connectors (looms) are provided

with the trailer so the brake lights and turn signals can

Tires/Wheels/Lug Nuts

Tires and wheels are a very important and critical

components of the trailer. When specifying or replacing the

trailer wheels it is important the wheels, tires, and axle are

properly matched.

CAUTION:

DO NOT attempt to repair or modify a

wheel. DO NOT install in inner tube to

correct a leak through the rim. If the rim

is cracked,

the air

pressure in

the inner tube may cause pieces

of the rim to explode (break off)

with great force and cause serious

eye or bodily injury.

Tire Wear/Inflation

Tire inflation pressure is the most important factor in tire life.

Pressure should be checked cold before operation DO NOT

bleed air from tires when they are hot. Check inflation

pressure weekly during use to insure the maximum tire life

and tread wear.

Table 3 (Tire Wear Troubleshooting) will help pinpoint the

causes and solutions of tire wear problems.

CAUTION:

NOTE

ALWAYS wear safety glasses when removing

or installing force fitted parts. Failure to

comply may result in serious injury.

Suspension

The leaf suspension springs and associated components

(Figure 2) should be visually inspected every 6,000 miles for

signs of excessive wear, elongation of bolt holes, and

loosening of fasteners. Replace all damaged parts

(suspension) immediately. Torqued suspension components

as detailed in Table 4.

Lug Nut Torque Requirements

It is extremely important to apply and maintain proper wheel

mounting torque on the trailer. Be sure to use only the

fasteners matched to the cone angle of the wheel. Proper

procedure for attachment of the wheels is as follows:

1. Start all wheel lug nuts by hand.

2. Torque all lug nuts in sequence. See Figure 3. DO NOT

torque the wheel lug nuts all the way down. Tighten

each lug nut in 3 separate passes as defined by Table 5.

3. After first road use, retorque all lug nuts in sequence.

Check all wheel lug nuts periodically.

NOTE

NEVER use an pneumatic air gun to

tighten wheel lug nuts.

SGW-250SS —TOWING

To reduce the possibility of an accident while transporting

the generator on public roads, always make sure the trailer

(Figure 4) and the towing vehicle are in good operating

condition and both units are mechanically sound.

The following list of suggestions should be used when towing

your generator:

CAUTION :

Towing Safety Precautions

■

ALWAYS attach trailer's safety chain to bumper of towing

vehicle.

■

ALWAYS make sure the vehicle and trailer directional,

backup, brake, and trailer lights are connected and are

working properly.

■

The maximum speed (unless otherwise posted) for highway

towing is 45 MPH. Recommended off-road towing is not to

exceed 10 MPH or less, depending on type of terrain.

■

Place

chocked blocks

underneath wheel to prevent

rolling rolling

rolling,

while parked.

■

Place

support blocks

underneath the trailer's bumper to

prevent

tippingtipping

tipping

, while parked.

■

Use the trailer's hand winch to adjust the height of the trailer,

then insert locking pin to lock wheel stand in place, while

parked.

■

Avoid sudden stops and starts. This can cause skidding, or

jackknifing. Smooth, gradual starts and stops will improve

gas milage.

■

Avoid sharp turns to prevent rolling.

■

Remove wheel stand when transporting.

■

DO NOT transport generator with fuel in tank.

Check with your county or state safety

towing regulations department before

towing your generator. Vehicle towing

codes and regulations can vary from state

to state.

■

Make sure the hitch and coupling of the towing vehicle are

rated equal to, or greater than the trailer "gross vehicle weight

rating" (GVWR).

■

ALWAYS inspect the hitch and coupling for wear. NEVER

tow a trailer with defective hitches, couplings, chains etc.

■

Check the tire air pressure on both the towing vehicle and

the trailer. Also check the tire tread wear on both vehicles.

■

ALWAYS make sure the trailer is equipped with a "Safety

Chain".
